Colin + Keyli

July 24th   |   Denver, Colorado   |  Wedding


This next  post is one that holds very special importance to Sarah and me. The groom has been one of my best friends for close to ten years, and the honor I felt as one of the best men at his wedding is indescribable- so I won’t even begin to try.  Thanks for being an amazing friend y amigo! Yes… he is a double friend and one language just couldn’t express it:)

To top that, he could not have been marrying a more kind-hearted, drop-dead gorgeous (as you will see below) woman as Keyli, who obviously Sarah and I are both pretty crazy about! Over the past 6 years that I have gotten to know Keyli, she has become more than just my best friend’s girlfriend, she has become one of Sarah and my dearest friends, and we couldn’t be happier to call her part of our family:)

To say “thanks for the memories” is only half the story- because I want to thank you in advance for the future of fun we’ll have, and THANK YOU for letting us be a such a huge part of the biggest day of your lives:)

Sarah and I LOVE our jobs, but I have to say it was quite fun to be at a wedding not “clicking” away!! I wish I could say the same for my better half, but then who the heck would have been taking pictures!? I did have the honor of taking the groomsmen’s pics getting ready, and I snatched the camera every now and then during the reception… Just couldn’t resist:)So thank you to my wonderful wife for watching me drink cocktails and boogy while she was working her tail off! Love you snook!

We also need to thank Brooke, from Clara Images, who did a fabulous job  with assisting Sarah and captured some spectacular shots throughout the day! We got a ton of responses to assist, and Brooke by far took the cake- and we were even more pleasantly surprised when looking through her pictures after the day.  Make sure to head over to her website, comment on her blog, and pass her name along to other Denver couples getting married.  They are truly talented.

So- aside from loving the people in these photos, and the fact that this wedding carries so much importance to us- we love how the photos turned out.  Here’s a our favorites from the wedding day, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you might even catch a glimpse of me (the bearded man in the monkey suit):)

Two great shots taken by Brooke!:)
That’s me giving my toast! Yep, I drew that:)
Awesome silhouette taken by Brooke as well!
Way to go Sarah! She is so creative:)
There we are!!!!!!!:)
One of my favorites:)
ummmmmm. Keyli, could you be more gorgeous???? Holy moly!
Ha ha ha. I love that Sarah puts a bunny mask on and then gives herself bunny ears! Oh, and the t-shirt she is wearing, is representing one of our good friends AMAZING band “Fresh Jefferson.” Two of the members happened to be in the limo with us:)Check out there stuff here.
was that wrong?
I am the mobile! Hear me roar!

Oh, one last thing! This is only one part of all the pics. When the reception ended we all headed to Denver and Sarah and I took bride and groom shots for nearly 2 hours!! Dude, 2 hours after just becoming newlyweds is a long time! We do believe it was fully and entirely worth it, and included the photo below as a sneak (second sneak… we’re just THAT excited!) for that bride and groom session that will appear soon on the blog.:)

We want to thank you both so much for everything you have done. From the engagement photos, to the wedding, to Adam being a GREAT best man, to Sarah being as fantastic as always. These pictures are amazing.

Sarah, you did such a great job capturing how fun and beautiful that day was. I especially love the bridal shoot you did in the morning. You were taking pictures from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm…um, yeah. You kept a big smile the whole time. Perfecto!

Adam, I cannot describe what an honor it was for me to have you in my wedding. As always, your charm and gruffy beard were there to keep me sane. I absolutely love the shots you took in the morning, and I can’t wait to see the Bride and Groom pics both of you were able to take in Denver.

Looking at your galleries I can tell that you love taking pictures and are pretty darn good if I do say so myself! Keep up the fabulous work.

We love you two soo much!

Colin & Keyli

Betsy + Jared | on top of the world.

And nowwww… for a very highly anticipated engagement session unlike any other… drum. roll. please.

Ok- no drum roll, but YES!  These two climbed (“shimmied”) on top of the stairwell at the top floor of the parking garage downtown, granting Adam and I the opportunity to take some epic rooftop, in-love-with-the-world-ahead-of-us photos of Betsy and Jared before their wedding next April.  These two are fun fun fun, and were a complete blast to work with.  From cupcakes to rooftops to sparklers, here are some of our very favorites:)

Check back for more adventures of Betsy and Jared in Sept., because we have another little something planned…  you must stay tuned.  View full password protected gallery here.

Betsy - August 26, 2010 - 5:23 pm

WE LOVE THEM! :) Slow dancing with Jared in a parking deck might have been one of my favorites that I didn’t think I would like as much. Of course you 2, Sarah & Adam, are amazing and fun people which let us kick back and have a wonderful time. I can’t wait to use these for engagement stuff and save the dates but now the hard part is.. which one? :)

Thanks guys!

Barbara + Nick | Antiques, a Record Store, and an Abandoned Shopping Cart

For every engagement session (all our sessions really…), we try to make it unique to the couple/ family/ etc.  Sometimes that is a super-steamy, low light sort of thing, or sometimes it’s soft, sweet and sunny.  Barbara and Nick’s day after session had it’s own flare, too.  Having shot their wedding a week earlier- we saw that they really made each other laugh with fun sarcasm or simply a silly look.  They really had fun with each other and didn’t take themselves too seriously.  We love that, and tried to highlight their non-cheesy, lighthearted approach and document their newly married relationship in all it’s playful glory.  We also happened upon this fabulous “air conditioned” record store and got one of my (Sarah here) favorite photos ever (above).  During engagements, I try to make sure we get some sort of a ring shot- way fun to take a his and hers version.  :)  Barbara and Nick, thanks for braving the hottest day of the year to take these “day after” shots.  Hope you love them all!

LOVE!! can’t wait to see the rest :)

Amber + Buddy

Amber and Buddy are wonderful.  4 years ( if I remember correctly) after they got married they got all gussied up once more (Buddy in his hot and heavy- literally-uniform) and tromped around the Houston Museum District to get some pseudo-wedding photos, since they have none from the actual day-of.  She had mentioned sun-flares (looooooove) so we were crossing our fingers for some soft sun and made sure to start at the perfect time.

There are some serious favorites in here, and we’re both so excited to share them.  But more than that, we’re feeling really lucky to be able to give this to Amber and Buddy as something to have and hopefully bring back some sweet memories of their wedding day -for now and forever.  If anything, they’ll probably remember the unbearable heat and crazy Shakespearean actors speaking gibberish into a microphone.

Either or.

Alice - August 18, 2010 - 9:19 pm

Sarah & Adam - August 18, 2010 - 9:30 pm

Yay!! Thanks for the comments! Thao- Hermann Park was empty with a little photoshop help and crafty camera finagle-ing. :) and yes, I love the one in the field too. That is Adam’s genius self and some fancy technology mixed in. haha.

Lydia Hardison - August 19, 2010 - 12:35 am

Very lovely, Amber and Buddy! You guys look great and very loving.

Janice - August 19, 2010 - 3:58 pm

You are a beautiful lady Amber… very classy. The pictures are great. :)

Really beautiful shots, they are all great.

Meghan + Chris | Houston, TX Wedding

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! That’s right, Meghan and Chris decided after 10 years it was time to tie the knot, and we couldn’t be happier they did! Especially Sarah, the whole morning we were getting our stuff together, she was bouncing around the house saying “Isn’t this great? They’ve known each other for TEN YEARS!” It was great, and it was great getting to know these two! We did one of our favorite engagement sessions with them ever (they still own the front page of our website), and we have to thank them for getting married in a church that was basically a glass house. I had a grin from ear to ear when I first saw all the natural light in that place, beautiful!

We would like to wish you two the best, and hope you enjoyed our card;)You can view the entire gallery here (password protected).

Oh, also! Sarah and I have been meaning to add some action shots of ourselves, from each wedding, so beginning with this post we have included a little taste of us doing what we do best… looking goofy behind the camera:)

And here it is:)We didn’t end up using this fantastic puddle for anything, but at least we were able to take a couple pics of us looking funny.

Caroline Anne - August 12, 2010 - 10:01 pm

Great work guys!

Meghan Kolenda - August 12, 2010 - 11:05 pm

WOW-that is all I have to say!!!!! I love the pictures and can’t stop looking through them. I think the picture of Adam on the wet ground show how far you both are willing to go to get “the perfect shot”! Thank you so much for being a part of our big day and capturing it in such a special way!

Magan Blasig - August 13, 2010 - 7:03 pm

Beautiful job! I love the location of the ceremony! Oh I would be in heaven too over a glass box. :) Love how you used your surroundings (like the ground) in the photos. And I adore the ring shot!

Shelby Lea - August 13, 2010 - 11:06 pm

I LOVE the ring shot (it’s an amazing picture and I have an obsession for rain) and the 11 shot is nifty nifty :)

Betsy + Jared | Sneak Peek

When we met up with Betsy and Jared yesterday, they mentioned that they might want to do some night time pics.  Of-course we were totally down with that idea and told them, we normally plan on about 2 hours for an engagement session, not because we limit the sessions to a certain time, but that’s normally when people start to burn out a little. 4 hours later we were having a blast and still taking pictures!!

I have to mention that these guys were up for anything! My hands our starting to get clammy just thinking about this first pic. When we decided to head over to a parking garage they eagerly made it to the highest point and Sarah and I started click click clicking! Thanks so much to both of you for thinking outside the box and 1. scaling buildings 2. playing with fire, and 3. eating Michael Jackson (you had to be there),  all in the name of fantastic photos!

Austin Wedding Blog - August 10, 2010 - 3:51 pm

These are going to be epic! I can already tell! Can’t wait to see the full session! – Rachel

Betsy - August 10, 2010 - 6:09 pm

Wow! I think Jared & I are both already blown out of the water by these 3 previews. One of my friend text me and said you should have called this “The Tease” and not “Sneak Peek” either way they are amazing and Jared & I can’t wait to see more!! :)

It was a total blast getting to hang out with you guys and make some awesome photos. I think we are most definitely “game on” for part 2s super awesome last shot as long as I don’t have to climb anything. Let us know when! Thanks again for the wonderful photos Sarah & Adam you 2 are the best!

Thao - August 11, 2010 - 2:45 pm

Love love love the first pic!!!!!! Giving me too many ideas!!!!

Barbara + Nick | 2nd Sneak Peek

Due to geographical barriers, that’s right, I just said “geographical barriers”:)we were not able to do an engagement session with Barbara and Nick, until after their INCREDIBLE wedding, that we shot last weekend.  Sarah and I were so pumped when we all decided to do the shoot in Montrose. Awesome buildings, awesome colors and awesome couple = AWESOME pictures. Thanks you two for dealing with the 100+ degree weather and we can’t wait to get the rest of your pictures to you soon.
